Summary
There’s a lot riding onSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. After years of eagerly waiting to find out what Rocksteady’s next project was after the groundbreakingBatman: Arkhamseries, fans were presented with the first announcement trailer forSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and while it definitely wasn’t the project many fans were hoping for, it showed a lot of promise. But that promise soon faded uponSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s big gameplay revealback in February of this year, with many actively hating what they were seeing, and being pretty vocal about it online.
With more of a focus on looting and shooting and seemingly less on tight combat mechanics and narrative, along with the threat of live-service integration, fans weren’t happy aboutSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s current status. After a lengthy break, Rocksteady is back to show fans the near-finished project. Whilethe most recentSuicide Squadtrailerprobably won’t change the opinions of many fans, it does give them a better look at traversal, combat, and the game’s overarching story. If there’s one big highlight from the most recentSuicide Squadtrailer, and those that have come before it, it’s the performances.

Just taking one quick look atSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s cast list should already excite long-time DC video game fans, with some all-time greats reprising their roles from the previous Arkhamverse titles. Tara Strong is probably the most familiar name on this list, aside from Kevin Conroy. Taking over fromHarley Quinn’s original actor Arleen Sorkin, Tara Strong assumed the role of the villain inBatman: Arkham City, and has played the character in various video games and DC projects ever since.
Gaming fans will also recognize a ton of faces and voices inSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, though they might not be immediately recognizable in-game. Debra Wilson, for instance, is probably best known for her role asCere Junda in theStar Wars Jediseries, though she’s appeared in a ton of games, TV shows, and movies over the years, and that even includes a prior appearance as Amanda Waller in Telltale’sBatmanseries. Scott Porter is another actor with a prolific career; gaming fans might recognize him as the voice behind Heimdall in last year’sGod of War Ragnarok.
Probably one of the most well-known actors on theSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguecast list is Joe Seanoa, who many will more likely recognize under his wrestling persona of Samoa Joe. This isn’t the first video game-related project Joe’s starred in either, with him recently appearing as the iconic clown Sweet Tooth in Peacock’sTwisted Metalshow. Deadshot’s actor, Bumper Robinson, might not be as world-famous as Samoa Joe, but he has appeared in a ton of video games over the years, with a total of 176 acting credits currently on IMDB. And Captain Boomerang’s actor, Daniel Lapaine, has appeared in a bunch of TV shows and movies over the years, includingBlack Mirror,Catastrophe, andZero Dark Thirty.
By far the most eye-catching name onSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s cast list, at least for long-time DC fans, is Kevin Conroy. Starting with the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne in1992’sBatman: The Animated Series, Kevin Conroy has become the definitive version of the Caped Crusader for many fans. His portrayal of the character inSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueis, unfortunately, going to be his last, with the actor having passed away last year.
